How elite athletes use cognitive biases to their advantage

I’ve always been fascinated by how top performers handle pressure situations. Beyond physical training, I’m curious about the mental strategies they employ specifically around cognitive biases like anchoring or achieving flow states. Do athletes consciously use these psychological tools to maintain focus during critical moments? For example, how might a basketball player use anchoring to stay calm at the free-throw line, or a tennis player enter a flow state during a tiebreak? I’d love to hear any examples or insights you have about applying these concepts in high-stakes environments.
